In a fit of optimism that I might get my car to run this year, I'm wondering what brake pad brands/ compounds are being used out there, It's been about 16 years since I last had to buy a set and I can't find a recent post on the topic.

I've got stock calipers but with NISMO drilled rotors (running 13" wheels). I was using Green Stuff pads which have a bit of life on them, but looking to wear them down soon enough.

Installing on a street car with canyons and a very occasional track day in it's future.

Any suggestions? Yellow Stuff?

Thanks,Cory

Shims? Like between the piston and the pads? I never ran any, and I don't know why the would be necessary.

Sounds good just thought it would keep the noise down if anything.. Are you running a pad retainer clip as well? Can't seem to find the correct one for 280zx front brakes. These are the ones it keeps calling for but don't they are the right ones... This is what I got...
